Rent Our Westcott Studio

Our studio resides on the top floor and is accessible by elevator. It has white walls, gray flooring, and rows of overhead lights that you can turn on or off. The open floor space can accommodate several lighting setups and the windows present at each "end" of the space are perfect for gorgeous natural light portraits.

 

A kitchen area (with a refrigerator and tables) is available just one floor below. And if you need to pick up any additional gear, you can check out our Rental Department just two floors down.
